Dear Brian,
You're right. I guess setting up a comparison with Word is not much of challenge. I'll trust your deeper experience wiht RTF--experience counts.

Next idea...?

Well, yes. Anything compared to Word would look good.

But, as one who has worked with many forms of (raw) markup, RTF is one
of the most bloated of the plain text accessible languages. PDF is
probably more difficult, but RTF is ridiculous in the amount of (really
long strings of) code you have to repeat over and over for no good
reason that I can determine. Granted, nobody with a choice would edit
raw RTF, but that's the point...why would you want a plain text editor
built to work directly with RTF? But a non-plain text editor with
XyWrite's customization/macro abilities? Some day maybe...some day.
